SlPHON-FILLER. ii I SPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 737,300, dated August 25, 1903.

Application filed May 23, 1903. Serial No. 158,557. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, JOHN K. TURAJSKI, a citizen of theUnited States, and a resident of Cleveland,county of Cuyahoga, State of Ohio,

have inventedcertain new and useful Im-' siphon-bottle fillers or devices for drawing aerated drinks of all kinds; and the objects of the invention are to provide a simple and eflicient device for this purpose in which all overflow or waste is .quickly carried away and in which the pressure by means of which the valve is opened is obtained by a simple mechanism not directly connected with the nozzle of the bottle itself, and hence more readily under the control of the operator. I

obtain these advantages by means of the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a form of the device'applicable to a refrigerator-wall and provided with a stem which is directly inserted therein. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalicentral section of the outer barrel, through which the liquid is drawn. Figs. '3 and 4 are side and edge elevations, respectively, ofa modified form provided with a horizontal plate for attachment to the edge of a table or counter.

In the views, 1 is the outer barrel, which incloses the valve mechanism and which may be provided with any convenient form of at-' tachment to the source of supply. The construction of the valve mechanism is clearly shown in Fig. 2, where 2 is the chamber into which the nozzle of the siphon is inserted, and 3 is the projectingmouth of the passage 4,

which guides the fluid to thefsiphon-nozzle; This projection is tubular and adapted tobe encircled by the nozzle, andia rubber washer 5 about the projection 3, against which the nozzle presses, serves to make a tight. joint. A lining-sleeve 6 receives the overflow, if any, at the time the nozzle is removed and is forced against the base of the chamber 2 by means ,of the nut 7, screwed upon the outer extremity of the barrel. An intervening washer is inserted between the nut and lining-sleeve. Perforations 9 about the sleeve 6 release the overflow or waste into the chamber 2, from whence it flows away through the passage 10 in the wall of the barrel 1. At the bottom of the barrel is formed the chamber 11, through which the outlet-passage 4 conducts the fluid through the nozzle of the siphon-bottle. A valve-seat 12 at the upper extremity of this chamber receives the valve 13, which is normally kept closed tightly by means of the spring 14,'encircling a valvestem 15 and inserted in the cylindrical recess 16, located in the back wall of the barrel 1. This spring presses against the rubber washer 17, which rests upon the shoulder 18 at the bottom of the recess 16 to prevent leakage about the valve-stem, and the spring engages the shoulder of the enlarged portion 19 of the valve-stem at its upper end. ,The valve is depressed to admit fluid through the outlets passage by means of the lever 20, pivoted at 21 on the back of the barrel, and, as shown, the lever has one-end inserted in avertical slot 22 in the enlarged head of the valve-stem. Whenthis lever is released, the springpressed valve will instantly seat itself and out off the liquid flow. A washer 23 on the upper face of the valve engages the valve-seat and maintains a tight joint. It will be seen that while the lever is being lifted by the finthus making the action a very easy one.

In Fig. 1 thebarrel is shown provided with a stem 24, which is inserted in the wall of the refrigerator and is secured thereto by means of the flange 25 on the outside of the wall and a nut 26, passed over the screw-threaded inner portion of the stem. The stem comprises the outer tube 24 and the inner tube 27, through which the fluid passes. to the'barrel. The tubes are connected together at either end and the overflow-passage for waste fluid passes continuously through the outer tube into the refrigerator, where it is discharged at the perforation 28. A nut 30 connects the barrel and its stem. In Figs. 3 and 4 is shown a device in which the valve is similarly operated; but in place of utilizing the ICC hollow stem 24 to support the cylinder it is provided with a horizontal flange 29, which can be readily attached to the under side of a table or counter. The overflow-passage then extends straight down and discharges from its'open extremity.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi In combination, in a siphon-filler, a barrel provided with upper and lower chambers, a central passage connecting said chambers provided at the upper end with a cylindrical extension or mouth adapted for insertion in the nozzle of the siphon, a Washer encircling said extension, a lining-sleeve in said upper chamber engaging said Washer, a nut secured upon JOHN K. TURAJSKI. Witnesses:
